Got the doors and safari top on.

I think it's finally ready for a couple of moderate runs.

That's awesome John, and the black looks great too!  

 

Moderate trails?  Barrett?  Rubicon?  You could Cruze with me on the day trip!

Moderate trails?   

I want to do a couple of short [in and out] runs to start with, just to see how everything reacts and holds together. I'm thinking Fordyce River Crossing and then Rubicon Spider Lake. This will give me a good idea of what needs to be changed or adjusted without the stress of having to make it all the way across a trail. I prefer these trails to Prairie City. I will post up these runs when I get a date figured out.

Things left to do (in order):

1.) Install Tie Rod (priority)

2.) CB Radio and Antenna

3.) Front RCV Shafts

4.) Winch and Plate

Then everything from my STAGE 1 list will be done...

After a couple of years and some budget recuperation I can move on to STAGE 2

Installed a Tramp Stamp and started my CB install...

Tramp Stamp looks cool, too bad it will be covered up by a tire carrier.

I ordered the AEV tire carrier and WFO is going to modify the bolt pattern for me.

Pics to follow when it's done. Now I just need to start working on the CB installation.

I'm working on my CB right now. May need some guidance when it's time to wire it and tune it.

After my trip to Fordyce, it was apparent that I'm going to need to upgrade to a hydro assist ram for my steering. So, with axles already covered, and steering in the near future, I will not have a tire size limit. So in preparation for my 40s, that are on the UPS truck right now, I went ahead and had a little fun with the Sawzall. I opened up the fenders for more room. I have a lot more room in there now...
